代写英国作业：evaluation methods and statistics

这是一篇英国留学生作业范文，本研究旨在探讨使用Facebook是否与高债券资本相关，以及使用Facebook与高债券资本绩效的关系。根据大量查阅文献，一些研究表明，对这些发现的解释可能是，Facebook中的身份信息起到了社会润滑剂的作用，鼓励个人将潜在的联系转化为薄弱的联系，并使他们能够广播支持或信息的请求。
This investigation is trying to find if the use Facebook is correlated with high bonding capital and the relation of the use Facebook and high bonding capital performing. According to a lot of accessing to literature, some research has suggested that the explanation for these findings may be that the identity information in Facebook serves as a social lubricant, encouraging individuals to convert latent to weak ties and enabling them to broadcast requests for support or information.

本研究的首要目标是探讨大学生如何使用Facebook来建立和发展社会关系，并评估这些实践对感知社会资本水平的影响。本研究通过在网站上识别特定的沟通实践（即“连接策略”），开发衡量社交资本的尺度，并通过经验评估社交资本与用户的关系，有助于我们理解社交资本。此外，这项研究还发现了Facebook友谊数量和质量的有趣模式，因为它们与社会资本水平有关。
The overarching goal of this study was to explore how undergraduates use Facebook to initiate and develop social relationships and to assess the impact of these practices on perceived social capital levels. This study contributes to our understanding of SNS-enabled social capital by identifying specific communication practices (i.e., ‘connection strategies’) on the site, developing scales to measure them, and empirically assessing their relationship to users’ social capital. Furthermore, this study identifies intriguing patterns regarding the quantity and quality of Facebook Friendships as they relate to levels of social capital.

Facebook provides a great way from any individuals to connect and further expand their network. Having access to a large heterogeneous network of individuals can pose benefits and equally, disadvantages. Social networks sites generally are treated with the same criticism that engulfed technologies like the television and the Internet when they first emerged. “However, the role that these sites play in the accrual of positive bonding outcomes should not be overlooked, especially when considering that strong ties often become geographically dispersed over time and are thus unable to spend quality face-to-face time together”(Vitak, Ellison, & Steinfield, 2011). Therefore gaining a better understanding into the interactions and social gains/losses that result from theses interactions is important.

Facebook use can act as a catalyst of, rather than a replacement for, offline interaction, supporting earlier research that suggested that ‘highly engaged users are using Facebook to crystallize relationships that might otherwise remain ephemeral’ (Ellison et al., 2007: 1162). Although early work on the subject empl oyed ‘online to offline’ and ‘offline to online’ measures (Ellison et al., 2007), these connection strategies point to an evolved approach to describing interaction patterns which moves beyond dichotomous ‘online’ and ‘offline’ social worlds and instead acknowledges these channels as deeply integrated communicative spheres. Because Facebook is closely integrated into the daily experience of most undergraduate students in the US, we investigated whether some patterns of Facebook-enabled social interaction are more effective than others for actualizing ‘the benefits of Facebook “friends” (Ellison et al., 2007). Social capital is not restricted to a clear, undisputed meaning, but is rather conceived of both a cause and an effect (Resnick, 2001) according to Dolfsma & Dannreuther (2003). It is an "investment in social relations with expected returns in the marketplace" by Lin (2001) interpretation.

The investigation seeks to find if Facebook intensity is correlated with high bonding social capital, following similar work by Williams (2006) and Ellison et al. (2007). Based on existing literature and the purpose of the investigation being conducted, the following hypotheses are proposed:

The alternative hypothesis is supported by studies conducted by Nicole B. Ellison, Charles Steinfieldet al. (2007), showing that there is a positive relationship between Facebook intensity and bonding social capital within a local context. Burke et al. (2011) also state that Facebook data suggest that communication amongst friends lead to social capital gains. However certain studies on Facebook use and perceived bonding capital returned results that where not clear (Vitak, Ellison, & Steinfield, 2011).
